I am normally not a fan of big rims or lowered cars that both seem to be "hot" now for the last 5-10 yrs -

This car doesn't really put me off though, I kinda like it's "look" . . .

$59,000 is somethin I DON'T like . . . but it prob is around what it takes to make one like this . . .

Location: Lovely place		Outside it still looks fairly original, but the interior is just horrible! I don't mind if someone customizes the interior, but then use leather, polished aluminium/chrome - that horrible silicon treated plastic is just awful. The original seats are much better quality than this cheap crap.

Also, if you do the car in this style - it would be better to shave off door handles etc.

Location: New Philadelphia, Ohio		I like it too, till you get to the interior. They did alright, but the center console just doesn't fit the car, and they padded the entire dash, which just looks wrong for the car. What's up with the accelerator pedal?

Very nice car and a very big price to go with it. Im not much for mixing the new with old, as in the 20 something inch wheels, and new bucket seats. Im kindof a purist with alot, especially the interior, under the hood anything goes

I'll bet the gas pedal is no fun to operate, unless you're at WOT.
